She graduated from Margarita Janer Palacios High School in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, to pursue a Business Administration career. However, due to political and socio-economic issues in Puerto Rico, she had to move to Tennessee. While completing her Associate's degree online in Business Administration from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico, she became an Assistant Store Manager for a Dollar General retail store. As she became more curious about the world, she decided to continue her studies at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) by successfully gaining a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Administration with a concentration in Homeland Security, and double minors in Asian Studies and Information Systems while graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic in May 2020. During those undergraduate years, she participated in multiple extracurricular activities, becoming Former Vice-President of La Comunidad, mentor for the Asian Student Association, Caribbean Student Association, Hispanic and Asian Heritage Month Committee while volunteering for LGBT+ events, Habitat for Humanity, Feed the Children, Tennessee Democratic Party, National Honor Society, Secular Student Alliance, Puerto Rico Rises, among many other entities. She is currently working as a Research Assistant for Dr. Donna Dopwell under the Social Work Department at MTSU while attending Graduate School, pursuing her Master's of International Affairs with the People's Republic of China as her region focused. Her short goal is to take all opportunities given, learn from others, develop multiple ideas for new projects, and graduate. At the same time, her long-term goal is to create connections between Asia and Puerto Rico in exchanging resources, leadership, business opportunities, and knowledge in rebuilding Puerto Rico from its natural disasters. Recently, she joined the Diaspora Committee for the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño to enhance the possibilities and creation of a new nation with the independence for Puerto Rico under the PIP's Patria Nueva campaign. In addition, she joined the Seven Women NGO as an intern this summer, and she expects to learn a lot from it to continue helping others and empowering women worldwide. #PuertoRico #PatriaNueva #DPIP #InspiringHumansPodcast #TanyaGonzalez #StephanieWoollard

In this episode we talk about perhaps the topic that consumes my mind more than any other: politics. I'm certainly not alone in that in 2020, nor at any point since 2016. This conversation about politics isn't some “touch on the third rail” and tip toe around it conversation, though. It's not a baseline, basic chat about how everything is broken in the buildings 30 minutes from where I live.This is a conversation between an engaged and informed voter, me, and someone whose job it is to get people elected, Mary Mancini.Mary is the chairwoman of the Tennessee Democratic Party. Her professional life spans multiple roles in multiple industries, but landed in grassroots organizing before crossing over into the party side of politics.We discuss how Democrats can be more effective communicators and ultimately close the gap between popular Democratic policies and unpopular Democratic politicians. We also discuss the challenges presented by a lack of shame in politics, specifically amongst Republicans and how a focus on the the local level can help turn the ship in the right direction.Mary and I recorded this conversation at Z89, the student radio station we both participated in our respective times at Syracuse. Congratulations to Mary, who was deservingly inducted into the WJPZ Hall of Fame mere hours after this chat.Support the show (http://HoffmanShow.com)
